The Laramie landfill will offer free compost to Laramie residents on May 21, 2016  as part of International Compost Awareness Week. Free compost was also given on May 14, 2016.

Compostable materials, including yard trimmings, vegetable cuttings, hay shavings, and manure make up 30% of material going to landfills. Composting helps reduce the amount of waste and helps to decrease erosion, reducing water consumption, and conserve water.

The landfill will give compost to Albany County residents between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. For more information, call 307-721-5279 or click here.
